I know the last week I have been MIA, and there is a great reason for this. It was the week of Little 500, a famous bike race and great excuse to get drunk. Since this is my last Lil 5, the biggest party week in college history, and I don't have classes, I said, "F my diet, I am getting drunk!". I honestly gained weight this week, but I don't care. I rather enjoy my life, my friends, and experiences that I can't recreate, then be miserable for 7 days so that I can drop some more weight. But this does bring me to a great question that a lot of you fellow fatties are wanting to know the answer to: Can you be on a weight loss plan and still enjoy your life?
This is honestly one of the hardest questions to answer. It really deters me from dieting because I am in such a social setting right now in my life, and most of my friends are really into eating healthy and working out. Binge drinking is a nightly, yes nightly, temptation. I am asked to go out to eat at places that don't have healthy options i.e. Mexican. But my personal goal is to not stop my life, but continue to live as a vivacious 20-something.
Unfortunately the life of a fat person really isn't that much fun. Everyday I wake up and weigh myself. I think about my weight when I eat, drink, and get dressed. I think about my weight more than I probably think about everything else. It is part of me, and it part of my daily life. So to eliminate the only fun that I have in my life is not gonna happen. I will say that I am done with drinking and honestly I don't know if I really want to be a regular drinker once I graduate. Maybe just on my birthday.
Tomorrow I am going to have to wake up early, weigh myself, think about how I gained a few pounds this week, and get back in action. Although it is hard work, I am a much happier person when I weigh less. I know that I will also feel fat on the inside, but I much rather be healthy!
Till we meet again,
Tiffany
